ApsaraVideo Media Processing:QPS limits

Last Updated:Mar 25, 2026

MPS restricts the frequency of API calls from a single account. This restriction is known as the QPS limit per account. Calls that exceed the QPS limit per account are throttled. Refer to this topic to learn about the QPS limits per account for MPS APIs and make calls accordingly to avoid interruptions to your business.

QPS limit per account

The QPS limit per account is the maximum number of times an Alibaba Cloud account (including its RAM users) can call a specific API operation per second or per minute. For example, the QPS limit per account for the ActivateMediaWorkflow operation is 100 requests/second. If an Alibaba Cloud account has five RAM users, the combined requests from the primary account and all five RAM users cannot exceed 100 per second.

Important
  • Not all API operations are subject to throttling. For details, see the tables in this topic.

  • The default unit for QPS limits is requests per second. If a different unit, such as requests per minute, is used, the tables explicitly state it.
